We provide a brief review of many aspects of the planetary physics of hot Jupiters. Our aim is
to cover most of the major areas of current study while providing the reader with additional …

Planet-forming disc evolution is not independent of the star formation and feedback process
in giant molecular clouds. In particular, OB stars emit UV radiation that heats and disperses …

Constraining planet formation based on the atmospheric composition of exoplanets is a
fundamental goal of the exoplanet community. Existing studies commonly try to constrain …

The atmospheres of gaseous giant exoplanets orbiting close to their parent stars (hot
Jupiters) have been probed for nearly two decades,. They allow us to investigate the …

The HITRAN database is a compilation of molecular spectroscopic parameters. It was
established in the early 1970s and is used by various computer codes to predict and …

The ExoMol database (www. exomol. com) provides molecular data for spectroscopic
studies of hot atmospheres. These data are widely used to model atmospheres of …

In the past decade, observations from space and the ground have found water to be the
most abundant molecular species, after hydrogen, in the atmospheres of hot, gaseous …

Context. One of the long-term goals of exoplanet science is the atmospheric characterization
of dozens of small exoplanets in order to understand their diversity and search for habitable …

Population studies of exoplanets are key to unlocking their statistical properties. So far, the
inferred properties have been mostly limited to planetary, orbital, and stellar parameters …

The composition of giant planets is imprinted by their migration history and the
compositional structure of their hosting disks. Studies in recent literature have investigated …
